Does anyone have a "known" original one and can share the part number (should be casted on the back). If you have an extra one willing to sell let me know also. Thanks!
Thanks, I bought one of theirs and don't like the quality, the letters aren't all the same size, and the part number should be 9789188 according to my info and it's not.

This is the one I got from Ames Performance which they had stated it was NOS. The stud is on the C the Part number on the back is 9788859 which does not match with any of the number that was posted.
I bought one from Ames marked NOS a couple of years ago. Was a perfect match to the repop one I bought elsewhere. For double the price, no way it was NOS. They either have no clue, or someone convinced them they were NOS. Not worth the headache to argue and return.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

If you look at the closeup you can see the paint has a yellowish off-white color to it. I have had issues with some of the "NOS" parts that are not so "Old" stock as others I have.
If there is a "www." or bar codes printed on box assume "NEW REPOP" Stock
Couple of observations...yet another part number outside the ones already mentioned. To me, the back locks more like an 80 or 90s spincasted part due to the roughness. I have a 48603, close to the 485602 and that looks clean in the back, believed to be off a 71 car though, but original. Yours also has the beefy reinforced stem on the "P" which some say is) was OEM. So....still a bit of a mistery.

Good point. I will do some research on those part numbers and also I’ve got two OEM ones off my Coupe and my convertible I can look at.
